Welcome

Standard Bank Group is a leading emerging markets financial services provider, operating worldwide in 33 countries – including an extensive network in sub-Saharan Africa, as well as a presence in the key financial centres of Asia, Europe and the Americas.  
 

About 80% of the world’s population lives in emerging markets. Our vision is to make a real difference to financial services in these markets in which we operate.

 
Robust growth in this sector has made the field highly competitive, from both global and regional banks. Standard Bank has focused on investing in local capacity, creating strong local teams to ensure we remain relevant to the customers and communities we serve in different countries.
 

This understanding of local conditions, cultures and market drivers allows us to provide products and services tailored both to in-country customers and international investors and institutions looking for exposure to our markets. Our in-country teams are able to leverage the group’s shared systems and expertise, and global distribution capability, to grow strong, globally integrated local franchises.
 

Our people are passionate about making a difference in the lives of others. It is thanks to our staff that Standard Bank continues to build on its long history of sustainability, innovation and success.

By investing in local capacity we create strong, relevant teams in each country, using our global infrastructure and expertise to ensure consistency and quality.
